(A) Phagocytosis was analyzed by light microscopy after 30 minutes. (B) Flow cytometric analysis of FcαRI-mediated C albicans uptake by Tg Mac-1+/− (▪) and Tg Mac-1−/− PMNs (░). Results are expressed as percentage of PMNs that mediated phagocytosis (mean ± SEM [n = 4]). (C) FcαRI-mediated killing of C albicans by Tg PMNs (Mac-1+/− and Mac-1−/−) after 2 hours.
